In this study, taste masking of drug was critical parameter for this study. Masking of bitter taste of prednisolone was carried out using techniques like preparation of solid dispersion with PEG 6000, complex formation with Indion-204 resin and -cyclodextrin. Among them complex prepared from -cyclodextrin in weight ratio 1:4 was optimized basis on taste panel evaluation and drug release from complex. A successful taste masking of complex was confirmed by time intensity method and also by taking drug release in simulated gastric fluid and in simulated salivary fluid.
